Parma Heights council adopts tax rates, approves bridge-inspection agreement; other items set for further readings
Summary
Council passed a resolution adopting amounts and tax rates and passed an ordinance authorizing bridge inspection services with ODOT; the Cassidy Theatre management agreement and water-code amendment were introduced and set for later readings; minutes from prior meetings were approved.
Parma Heights City Council on Sept. 12 approved routine housekeeping and infrastructure measures and advanced several items for further review.
Council voted to adopt a resolution accepting amounts and rates determined by the budget commission and authorizing necessary tax levies; Clerk Barbara Allen read Resolution 2022-34, Councilwoman Walsh moved to read by title and Councilman Stavole seconded, the council suspended the rules and then approved the measure with aye votes recorded from Council members Durichko, Walsh, Stavole, Haase, Maruschak and Rounds and no nays. The action was described at the meeting as a housekeeping step tied to the city’s tax mil for the year.
Separately, Clerk Allen read an ordinance authorizing an agreement with the State of Ohio Director of Transportation for bridge inspection services (Ordinance 2022-33). Councilwoman Maruschak moved to read by title, the rules were suspended, and council passed that ordinance with the same recorded ayes and no nays. The administration noted the bridge-inspection agreement recurs roughly every three years.
Council also introduced, as first readings, a resolution to authorize a management agreement with Cassidy Theatre, Inc. (Resolution 2022-35) and an ordinance amending Chapter 933 (Water) of the Parma Heights Codified Ordinances (Ordinance 2022-32); both items were read by title only and will return for subsequent readings. During opening business the council approved meeting minutes from June 27, July 25 and Aug. 15 after motions by Councilman Stavole and recorded ayes.
The council adjourned to an executive session at 7:30 p.m. to discuss confidential business information of an applicant for economic development assistance and reconvened at 7:42 p.m.; no public action from the executive session was recorded in the minutes.
The meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
